Is not their excess wealth taken away from them? They die, yet without attaining wisdom.

Haman then recounted to them his fabulous wealth, his many sons, and how the king had magnified him and exalted him over the king’s other officials and servants.Haman said,“ Furthermore, Queen Esther invited only me to accompany the king to the banquet that she prepared! And also tomorrow I am invited along with the king.Yet all of this fails to satisfy me so long as I have to see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”Haman’s wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him,“ Have a gallows seventy-five feet high built, and in the morning tell the king that Mordecai should be hanged on it.
